MTP

MTP treatment in Yeshwanthpur

MTP, which means Medical Termination of Pregnancy, is a method of terminating a pregnancy using medications. In the early stages of pregnancy (7-9 weeks), it is possible to remove it with medication; otherwise, surgery is required. Medical termination of pregnancy is permissible in India if the pregnancy does not reach 20 weeks. Only the pregnant woman's consent is legally required to terminate the pregnancy, and no other person's consent is required.

Why is the procedure performed?

MTP can be chosen by women who have conceived accidentally or to complete an early miscarriage, or if their medical condition is such that continuing a pregnancy is life-threatening. Women who are in the early stages of their pregnancy and do not want to undergo surgery or anaesthesia can also choose MTP if they do not have any complications and their gynaecologist permits them to do so. Although abortion is a highly personal decision, the Indian government has enacted legislation to regulate abortion. This act is known as the 'Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971,' and it should be considered when needed.

Procedure

MTP is only performed by experienced professionals and gynaecologists because, while the procedure is minor, the risk involved is significant. It is critical to see a gynaecologist because there can be numerous complications with the abortion, and before proceeding, one must consider all of the risks associated with medical termination of pregnancy. The pregnancy test will be performed first by the gynaecologist. This test confirms the pregnancy period. In pregnancy, an ultrasound exam is performed to determine the age of the pregnancy and to confirm that the pregnancy is not outside the uterus (ectopic pregnancy) or that it is not a tumour that has developed in the uterus (molar pregnancy). You will also be tested for anaemia, sexually transmitted diseases, and overall health before the procedure.

If MTP must be performed non-surgically, doctors usually recommend a pill called Mifepristone (Mifeprex). This pill can be administered orally or with an injection. Antibiotics are also given to prevent infection in the patient. Mifepristone obstructs progesterone, and a lack of it affects the uterine lining. This decrease in progesterone prevents the pregnancy from progressing. This process, which may take a few hours or days, causes contractions and the foetus to be expelled. A medical examination is also performed a week later to confirm the complete termination of the pregnancy and to rule out any other complications or issues.
